    Hmm....that is food for thought (no pun intended). I never really think too much about what I eat being an extension of my beliefs before. In general, I eat pretty healthy and dining out once or twice on the weekends. Almost everyone seems pretty surprise that I eat pretty healthy, snacking on fruits most of the time at work.

But you are right though...if you are serious about money, you serious about what you feed yourself.

You're right when you say: "I think if you are serious about money, you will be serious about food." That's how we both started getting into cooking — we were trying to protect our money.
